more information on each mode.
4. Tether Mode
Uses for Tether Mode
Tether Mode is convenient if you’re the type of person who often leaves things behind. Forgot
your phone on the counter when leaving for work or forgot your keys in a restaurant? Once out
of range, your devices will emit an audio alert as a reminder to go back and get your forgotten
item. Additionally, Tether Mode can provide a security alarm. If someone were to take your
phone orTouchFind out of range without you noticing, your devices would emit audio alerts. This
notifies you as well as causes the stolen item to emit an alarm.
Tether Mode Alerts
A. How it Works
Tether Mode creates an invisible link between your mobile device and your TouchFind. Both
items are “in range” when within approximately 120 feet of each other. If either item becomes
“out of range”, the invisible link is broken, which causes both your mobile device and TouchFind
to emit an audio alert.
A. How it Works
Once you hear the audio alert, the mobile device and TouchFind must be brought back in range
of each other for the alert to TouchFind.
B. Alarm Toggles
Tether Mode lets you control whether your TouchFind, your mobile device, or both will emit an
audio alarm when they are out of range.
C. Proximity Meter
This meter shows you how close you are to your TouchFind when you are in range. If all five
dots are green, you are right beside your Spot. If your Spot is out of range, the proximity meter
will disappear.
D. Camera
Your TouchFind also allows you to remotely control the shutter of your phone’s camera. Set up
a great shot from a distance or a creative angle and don’t worry about reaching for the shutter
button on your phone.

5. Find Mode
Uses for Find Mode
Find Mode is for you if you often find yourself wondering where you left your phone or rushing
around the house to find your keys before you leave. Find Mode makes sure you’re never
without your most important items.
A. Finding Your TouchFind
If you have misplaced your Spot, and the item it is attached to, simply open the Spot app on
your mobile device and tap FIND. The TouchFind will emit an audio alert allowing you to easily
find it. As you search, the proximity meter will help you know if you are getting closer to or
further from the TouchFind.
B. Finding Your Phone
Find Mode also works in reverse. If you have misplaced your phone but have your TouchFind,
simply press and hold the TouchFind button for 2-3 seconds. Your mobile device will emit a loud
audio alert, making it simple to find.
C. Proximity Meter
This meter shows you how close you are to your TouchFind when you are in range. If all five
dots are green, you are right beside your Spot. If your TouchFind is out of range, the proximity
meter will disappear.
